Yes, Someone Actually Funded A Sex-Toy Subscription Startup

For people who want to avoid the embarrassment of strolling down
the aisles of their local sex store, Boink Box will deliver a
box of sex toys to their house every month.

The model is called subscription-commerce, and it's been
popularized by companies like ShoeDazzle and BirchBox. (We suspect the latter inspired Boink
Box's name.)

Boink's boxes cost $45 a month. So if you are looking to try out
some massage oils, lubricants, vibrators, or other adult items,
Boink Box may be for you.

Like other subscription models, founder Chris Dumas combs the
world of sex toys, contacts wholesalers, and curates the items in
the collection box.

He chooses what items to add to the box based on what customers
specify. They can choose “stuff for everyone,” “mostly vagina,”
or “mostly penis.” You can add $40 to your order for a premium,
um, package.

An extra bonus? He provides a newsletter with recommendations on
how to use the products. Helpful in case you were embarrassed to
ask.
